The composition of the House of Assembly changed during the 2012–17 term. Former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham resigned as the leader of the FNM[3] following the party's loss in the 2012 polls and also resigned his parliamentary seat, forcing a by-election in the North Abaco constituency. This resulted in the PLP winning the seat and increasing their total to 30. Subsequently, the PLP lost three seats;
Greg Moss left the party to form the
United Democratic Party in 2015, while
Andre Rollins and Renward Wells defected to the FNM, bringing the PLP's total down to 27 seats.[4]
